Day 1511
What a Saturday in Seahaven Springs! The rain cleared to reveal a rainbow so perfect it seemed scripted, the orchard hummed with bees and ladybugs, and Fern and Edie Gorse finally sat down together at a quiet table—mending what had been broken. But not everything ended gently: a friendly dominoes game at The Anchor turned heated between Orson and Milo Ferris, landing Orson in Hal's holding cell for the evening (where he'll likely sleep it off just fine), while Abel Callahan remains at Seahaven General nursing an unfortunate encounter with a garden gnome. Through it all, Truman sang badly along to his radio, Bev found treasures in the tide, and little Rue Callahan continued her first days in a town that, rain or shine, always takes care of its own.
